So is this already out then?

Haha! Yes! Epic win!

Oh and I noticed Mikaela had to ride side-saddle due to the "penetration" missile.

Sweet gallery. I actually really like this version of Skids. I can't believe I'm going to say this but I might actually buy it. Arcee's a nice add on but sure isn't much to look at though.

sweet! cant wait for this to come out in stores

Totally should have been Chromia. But, c'est la vie. I can't wait to get this.

HA Skids looks darn good!

Among the 3 sets of Human Alliance, Skids is the best in my opinion.

This toy is out already? Wasn't this announced at Botcon like two months ago?

Yeah, i have all 3 sets. Now waiting for mudflap and barricade. I guessed u r referring to SDCC where the new Human alliance (mudflap & barricade) were announced.

It's available in some Asian countries I believe. The last pic is just epic! Love this HA Skids, sure looks a lot better than the Deluxe, can't really say the same for Arcee though. Wonder how HA Mudflap would look.

I have the 3 Human Alliance figures in my left at this moment and they are amazing very detailed and they very in scale to each other. I strongly recommend them.

yup, im very excited for this !

Why oh why do they keep giving figures monkey arms? It's for that reason that I have to pass on so many figures, unless I think they're kitbashable.

Wow.. I like Skids..
Arcee is just as butt ugly as her deluxe counterpart though (IMHO).

Mikaela is ugly too....
Frankly speaking i bought the set just for the skids.... I brush the other 2 pieces aside...

No distinguishing oversized hand on Skids, THE crappiest Arcee figure I've seen to date, and yet another poor excuse representation of a human character.

Yep. Crap set.

Ya know, I have to agree. I can't believe I'm saying this (and my wife is going to kill me), but I may have to buy this one.

Don't know why, but Arcee is kinda giving me a Cy-Kill vibe.

...and is it me or does this Mikaela figure look like a post-op tranny?

"Hey, Mike!"

*In a deep baritone* "It's Mikaela now"

Except that's Chromia wearing Arcee's clothes (the reverse is true for HA Chromia). They're catfighting about that right this minute.

It's a shame the human figures have such a crappy paintjob, cause the sculpts are quite good.

Btw anyone notice that the tribals on the sides of deluxe Skids are cleaner than those on HA Skids.

I thought those grey pieces on Arcee's head were her eyes. But after seeing her actual eyes (and unibrow), it makes me feel violated o.o But whatever, I'm buying it for Skids and for a Mikaela Figurine.

I lold at the last part That bulk size of the figure is most likely due to low production costs used for these figures. The main focus is on the TFs.

So it's accurate to the movie version, then? Wow...The HA range is great for accuracy! (Really, I can't tell; is that one a plastic figure, or the plastic actress? )

Seriously, though I can't wait to start my collection!

Looks pretty cool actually. I need to pick this up. Here's hoping we get HA versions of Jolt, Sideways, and Jazz sometime in the future. I'd say we should get Ratchet and Ironhide too, but they would be a bit..big. We would need Elita-1/Flareup/Third biker girl too as well as more humans. I can see Alice coming with Sideways, Lennox with Jazz, and Leo with Jolt.

I really like this line. Can't wait to see Barricade.

Great detail on Skids but Arcee looks like a Happy Meal toy. But if I buy this one I would actually want a scale version of Mudflap to stand beside him. Will Hasbro use common sense to make this happen ? The human ally for Mudflap could be either the Sector 7 guy or Sam's nerdy dorm room-mate...LOL
